Travel and tourism shares experienced mainly small, downward movements yesterday as London’s equity markets stalled.
The FTSE 100 index dropped just 3.4 points on the day to close at 4486.1, while the FTSE 250 managed to gain 4.5 points and closed at 6166.9.
The Airports operator TBI’s shares dropped 1p to 63p after it announced annual profits of £23 million, down three per cent despite a 15 per cent increase in passenger numbers at its airports.
